Abstract
On the basis of field work and a review of historical data, around 450 toponymic types in the village of Trnčina in the southwestern part of Popovo are analysed. In the first part of the paper, the geographic location of the village, a short historical overview and demographic conditions are provided. In the second part of the paper, some distinctive dialectological features (e.g. rarely confirmed negative forms of the present of the verb htjeti: nȇteš, nȇte i nétē) are described. In the third part, local oikonyms are explained, the first historical confirmations of these oikonyms are provided, and local genuses are listed. In the fourth part, other village toponyms are classified according to their motivation, and in the fifth part of the paper, toponyms are divided according to linguistic origin. Out of the rich toponomastic data reviewed, the toponym Dimitor is analysed as the most likely Walachian remnant (comparable to Croatian toponym Počivala).
